OK ladies, I have been playing with this piece since it arrived and last night I discovered a few new and very useful purposes for those "crown" connector links...as a bracelet extender. I have a very small 5.5" wrist, so it becomes difficult to layer some heftier link bracelets with cuffs because the "soft" bracelets don't allow for much drape. My problem is JR averages are too large (most slip right off my hand) and the smalls fit perfectly, but without much drape. The perfect solution is the connector link. It is large enough to accommodate a toggle bar, and certainly works well with a lobster claw type clasp.

The second is to secure a toggle bracelet. Just clip this on and go!

Third, the links can be used as JR's safety pins have...as necklace extenders or shorteners for other pieces, or to link together an unclasped long necklace or chain.

These little links are so versatile and so easy to use. I'd love to hear how others are using theirs.

Love your ideas, Smarty! I saw somewhere else on the forum someone asking Judie to bring in these links as a separate item for purchase. You just made a good case for that.

Quila, I was one of the ones who wants to have these sold separately...I think her facebook is the place to really get an idea "seen" so I added a post there to another who asked for this....if you are on facebook and want to have this plea heard, please add your comment....the more the merrrier!!! I especially want them to give shorter chains more length and versatility!!!
